The results showed that 10 of the strategies were frequently reported in the literature for caregivers of individuals with dementia (Small, Gutman, Saskia, & Hillhouse, 2003). The investigators added a final strategy that focused on using pictures, books, and props during interactions and planning/structuring interactions. Caregivers completed questionnaires before and after training to rate the importance and frequency of use of each strategy. Caregivers then participated in a training session led by the investigators that included a verbal and written explanation of each strategy and a description of why using the strategy would help to improve communication interactions. Comparisons of pretraining to posttraining questionnaires showed that most caregivers did not use materials such as books, pictures, magazines, ...","PeriodicalId":91156,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives on gerontology","volume":"17 1","pages":"78-83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1044/GERO17.3.78","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57646888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
